way to nitpick so you can win an arguement.The franchises I mentioned have not drasticaly changed for decades. Their look is easily identifiable. They never went the route of all the NBA teams who change their identity completely just to sell jerseys to kids.

Traditional teams look the best and the most professional.

That is not nitpicking. Those are pictures. Facts. Evidence.

Almost every team in every sport has undergone what most would consider to be a significant change, most more drastic than the Dolphins, including the ones on your cherry-picked list.

It is still easily identifiable as being a Miami Dolphin logo, and in my opinion still the best logo in the NFL. Take a look around, there are some pretty horrible logos currently being used.

It's not just simply a modification of the look. It's an entirely new logo. The sun in the background is the only similarity between the two.

That said, I don't necessarily agree with swerve's point. Personally I would have preferred to play off the old logo(s), but this team needed a re-branding, and they aren't the first organization to do it, as pointed out.

This entire process is very similar to the Patriots rebranding under Kraft. Hopefully it works out the same.

I would have preferred the new logo emulate the previous ones more as well. I like the shape of the old logo with the tail pointed down. I wish they would have kept that shape. I still like the new logo, and in my opinion it is better than the cartoon character looking logo that we had. I loved it when we first transitioned into it, but the cartoon look was getting old.

I think the logo could have been better, but if you presented me with all of the Dolphins logos from past to present, the newest one is the one I would pick.

not the ones that I mentioned in the modern era. Bears, Colts, Steelers, Raiders, Packers.........maybe minor alterations but basically the same identity. You can watch an old Steeler-Raider classic on NFL network or Bear-Packer classic and it's identifiable to the present teams of today.

The Dolphins are such a storied franchise and I like the fact that we've basically looked the same throughout the decades.

I do to. I love our colors. They are still aqua and orange. It is still a Dolphins in front of a sun. They are still very much identifiable as the Miami Dolphins. Of course we still haven't seen what changes they have made to the uniforms, but I don't expect anything like the Seahawks or Oregon Ducks.

So far, the only thing I don't like is the flipped up tail, I wish it retained the shape of the older logos, but overall, I think it is an improvement.

I REALLY like that the colors are going back to the lighter aqua. That is MORE like the classic Dolphins.

I do wonder what else is going to change. How about this font? I am very fond of their distinct font.

What about TD? Will he still be around? If he makes the redesign cut, I bet he will look different.

Actually, I really like the Seahawks new look and IF Miami went in that direction but of course kept their team colors, I would be interested to see how that style would look. Most people are somewhat adverse to changing tradition and I definitely get that. I remember living in Denver when the Broncos changed their look years back and at first fans were upset, but going more modern IMO can also look pretty cool
